MADISON SQUARE, NEW YORK. 

The Largest, Best Appointed, and Most Liberally 
Managed Hotel in the City, with the Most Central 
and Delightful Location. 


A. B. Darling, E. a. Darling, 

Charles N. Vilas, Hiram Hitchcock. 


HITCHCOCK, DARLING & CO. 


T HIS noble pile of white marble, Corinthian architecture, covering eighteen full city lots and 
accommodating one thousand guests, marks a place in the heart of the great City of Ne v 
York, and an era in the history of the Nation’s wealth and advancement. It is located ,n 
the center of the city, upon the charming Madison Square and at the intersection of the tv o 
great streets, Broadway and Fifth Avenue, and convenient to the most important points of interest 
in the Metropolis. 

Its patrons include the names of the most prominent men and women in America—the Presi¬ 
dents, hundreds of Government Officials, Senators, Congressmen, Judges, Army and Navy Officers, 
Divines, Physicians, Authors, and in fact all who have attained prominence and celebrity in pubbc 
and private* life, both at home and abroad ; and the most distinguished Europeans of rank and 
title who have visited this country. 

It has been the center of all the great public occasions which the city has witnessed for thirty 
years. 

Years have come and gone, new hotels have multiplied with innovations and features intro¬ 
duced to affect and influence patronage, but the Fifth Avenue is as new and fresh as the most 
recent hotel construction, with more liberal accommodations than any of them, and its well-earned 
reputation as the leading Hotel of the world is more and more assured.

the starboard side, visible one mile. A steam vessel shows in addition a 
white light in the foretop, visible five miles, and if towing another vessel she shows 
two white lights, one above the other, in the foretop. A vessel at anchor shows a

This preparation lias proved to he of extraordinary value 
in the prevention and alleviation of many cases of sea-sickness. 
It should he taken regularly for several days previous to 
embarking, and during the voyage. 

It makes a Delightful and Refreshing Drink. 


Dr. J. FOURNESS BRICE, of the White Star S. S. Germanic, says: 

“I have prescribed it in my practice among the passengers travelling 
to and from Europe, in this steamer, and the result has satisfied me

R.M.S. OCEANIC, PIONEER OF THE LINE. 

THE WHITE STAR LINE. 

I T is interesting to recall the fact that the Hag which now floats 
over the fine steamships of the White Star Line adorned the 
mastheads of a fleet of sailing clippers in the days long before 
steam began to effect such marvellous changes in the mercantile 
marine of the world. 

The origin of the White Star Line dates from the great rush 
to the gold diggings of Australia more than forty years ago, 
a period which embraces the transition from the old style of 
small sailing ships to the magnificent sailing clippers which carried 
Her Majesty’s mails; and from these to the new order of leviathan 
steamships such as now fly the White Star flag. 

We need not dwell on the revolution brought about in the Aus¬ 
tralian trade by the clipper ships, which, in the course of seven 
years, conveyed about half-a-million adventurers to the gold fields, 
and were until recent years almost the exclusive carriers of the 
steadily increasing commerce between the colonies and the mother 
country. 

In 1S67 an important change took place, when the managing 
owner of the White Star Line retired, and the flag was taken over 


A 











by Mr. Thomas Henry Ismav, who introduced iron ships in¬ 
stead of the wooden clippers formerly employed. Next came the 
great event in the history of the White Star flag—the establishment, 
in 1869, of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, Limited. 
This was accomplished by Mr. Ismay, who, in the following year, 
was joined in the management by Mr. William Imrie, of the late 
firm of Imrie, Tomlinson & Co., in whose office he and Mr. Imrie 
had been fellow-apprentices. The firm now became Ismay, Imrie 
& Co. In 1SS1 Mr. W. S. Graves, son of a well-known former 
M.P. for Liverpool, became a partner, and on January 1, 1891, Mr. 
Ismay’s two elder sons, Mr. J. Bruce Ismay, formerly the com¬ 
pany’s agent in New York, and Mr. James H. Ismay, were also 
admitted members of the firm. On December 31, 1891, Mr. Ismay 
retired from the firm of Ismay, Imrie & Co., after 40 years’ busi¬ 
ness life, but he retains control, as chairman, of the White Star 
Line. 

The Oceanic Company was initiated with boldness and judg¬ 
ment, and the shares of ,£1,000 each fully paid, were at once 
privately taken up by the managers and their friends, including 
some of the most substantial names in England. Their first step 
was to order a fleet of new steamships, to be built expressly for the 
American passenger trade. The order was given to Messrs. 
Harland & Wolff, of Belfast, and the first ship of the line, the 
Oceanic, was launched in August, 1870. In the following year 
the Baltic, Republic, Adriatic, and Celtic were added to the 
fleet, besides the Asiatic, Tropic, Gaelic, and Belgic, which were 
afterwards sold. In 1874-5 two larger ships, the Britannic and 
Germanic were built. Following these, in the order given, came 
the Arabic and Coptic, Ionic and Doric, Gaelic and Belgic (the 
latter two replacing the two older ships of same names), Cufic ana 
Runic; in 1889 and 1S90 the mercantile armed cruisers Majestic 
and Teutonic; in 1891 and 1892 the cargo and live-stock steam¬ 
ships Nomadic, Tauric and Bovic; in 1S93 the Gothic, a twin- 
screw passenger steamship, for the New Zealand service; in 1894 
and 1895 the Cevic and Georgic, twin-screw cargo and live stock 
steamships for the Liverpool and New York trade. The eight last- 
mentioned steamships, as well as a handsome new passenger ten¬ 
der, the Magnetic, are all propelled by twin-screws. By the sale

of the Baltic, Republic, Arabic, Celtic, Runic, and Oceanic, six 
well-known and popular names have been removed from the com¬ 
pany's fleet, perhaps to be replaced at some future time, as the new 
Gaelic and Belgic replaced steamships of the same favorite names 
in the trans-Pacific service of the company. The fleet consists of 
seventeen large steamships and three steam tenders of the aggregate 
of 108,000 tons, rendering the White Star fleet one of the largest and 
finest in the world. 

The Oceanic, the pioneer vessel of the fleet, may be said to have 
inaugurated an entirely new type of steamship, and she was indis¬ 
putably the orgin of most of the modern improvements in the in¬ 
ternal accommodation of ocean passenger steamships. 

On gliding into the Mersey in February, 1S71, her great length, 
yacht-like lines, and general symmetry created in the minds of 
those who saw her an admiration which her subsequent success has 
amply justified. 

One ot the principal improvements introduced in the Oceanic 
and her sister ships, and since generally adopted in modern ocean 
steamships, was the placing of the saloon and the first-class passen¬ 
ger accommodation amidships, whereby the comforts of an ocean 
voyage were immensely increased. 

The Oceanic on her sixty-second voyage, in October, 1889, 
crossed from Yokohama to San Francisco in 13 days, 14 hours, 4 
minutes, at that time the fastest passage on record across the 
Pacific. She had until recently been running, since 1874, in the 
trans-Pacific service of the Occidental and Oriental Steamship 
Company, of San Francisco, in which service the Belgic, Gaelic, 
Coptic, and Doric, of the White Star Line, are also popular ships. 

Since 1883 the White Star Line has employed three steam¬ 
ships— the Ionic, Doric, and Coptic —in the Shaw, Savill & Albion 
Company’s Line, trading between London and New Zealand, each 
capable of importing large cargoes of frozen mutton, and making 
the voyage round the world twice or thrice annually. The Coptic, 
however, having undergone some alterations, has taken the place 
of the Oceanic in the Pacific, and the new twin-screw steamship 
Gothic runs in her stead in the New Zealand service. The Doric 
has also been recently transferred to the Pacific service, after being 
fitted with new triple-expansion engines and new boilers, and

having some improvements introduced in her passenger accom¬ 
modation. 

The earliest steamships of the White Star Atlantic fleet were re¬ 
markable for their uniformity in speed, reducing the passage, which 
had previously averaged gb^ or io days, to about 8J^ days, and 
each steamship in its turn did the passage under the 8 days. But 
it was reserved for the Britannic and Germanic to make a decided 
advance on the Atlantic record. The former in 1877 crossed from 
Queenstown to New York in 7 days, 10 hours, 50 minutes, beating 
the previous best performance of any competing line by three hours 
and bringing the Atlantic passage at once into near approach of 
the seven day limit. Many faster steamships have since been 
built, and the Britannic’s laurels have been assumed bv vessels of 
the Majestic and Teutonic class; but the Britannic and Ger¬ 
manic have shewn their mettle by undiminished and rather in¬ 
creased speed. In September, 1890, the Britannic eclipsed her 
own previous record of 7 days, g hours, 30 minutes, by crossing 
from New York to Queenstown in 7 days, 6 hours, 55 minutes, the 
following being her daily runs in knots : 2g2, 372, 377, 370, 376, 
377, 3S7, 261 = 2,812 knots. Average speed 16.oS knots. In Sep¬ 
tember, iSgi, she excelled even this rapid passage, by making the 
run across from New York to Queenstown in 7 days, 6 hours, 52 
minutes. The Germanic was close on the track of her sister 
ship, having in August, iSgi, travelled from New York to Queens¬ 
town in 7 days, 7 hours, 37 minutes, at an average speed of 16.10 
knots per hour. When it is remembered that this high speed, 
nearly nineteen statute miles per hour, was obtained in vessels 18 
years old, with their original compound engines and boilers, it will 
be acknowledged that, having regard to their small coal consump¬ 
tion and large carrying capacity, the Britannic and Germanic 
have given results unattainable with the fastest ships of the pres¬ 
ent day. To show the remarkable uniformity in speed between 
these sister ships, it may be mentioned that previous to the above 
passage of the Britannic in September, iSgo, the record of both 
ships stood at 7 days, g hours, 30 minutes, New York to Queens¬ 
town. The Germanic has recently received new engines and boil¬ 
ers, and had her passenger quarters entirely remodelled on the plan 
of the Majestic and Teutonic. In July, iSgs, she crossed from

Queenstown to New York in 6 days, 23 hours, 45 minutes, showing 
a substantial increase of speed, and, with the improvement in her 
passenger accommodation, she will now gain a fresh access of 
popularity. 

From 1S73 until 1SS4 the White Star Line maintained its position 
as the fastest fleet on the Atlantic, and since 1877 has been regu¬ 
larly employed by Her Majesty’s Government in conveying the 
American mails under contract from Liverpool and Queenstown to 
New York. 

The Teutonic was launched January 19, 1SS9, her keel having 
been laid in March, 1887, twenty-two months previously, and it 
was not until the 7th August, 1889, that she left Liverpool on her 
maiden voyage to New York, after astonishing nautical critics with 
her splendid proportions at the naval review at Spithead, where 
she was honored by a special visit from H.I.M. the German Em¬ 
peror and H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. She crossed from Queens¬ 
town to New York in 6 days, 14 hours, 20 minutes, then the quick¬ 
est maiden passage on record. 

The Majestic was launched June 29, 1889, but did not sail on 
her maiden voyage until 2nd April, 1S90. She still further lowered

But it will be seen that in these ships everything has not been 
subordinated to speed, when it is mentioned that their carrying 
capacity is such that in the event of the Suez Canal being closed 
they are capable of steaming from Portsmouth to Bombay, via 
the Cape, a distance of 10,730 nautical miles, in twenty-two days, 
without coaling on the way. The Teutonic and Majestic are 
probably the only two vessels in existence possessing anything 
approaching such capacity. 

The length of time occupied in the building of these great ships 
is sufficient evidence, if any were needed,of the great care bestowed 
on their construction, and the builders, Messrs. Harland & Wolff, 
of whose firm the late Sir Edward Harland, Bart., M. P., was the 
principal partner, have their reward in witnessing the successful 
work which is being performed by two of the finest vessels the 
world has ever seen.

EXTRACTS FROM NOTES BY “ARCTURUS.” 

O N the Voyage. —Sea, not dead smooth, but passage, so tar, 
smooth enough. The “Majestic” is too majestical to nod to or 
deign any recognition of the little waves. She glides over and 
through them with a repose of mien which argues that she is un¬ 
conscious of their existence. Our palace-ship has the merit of 
being “ship shape” and “Bristol fashion.” Her pole masts and 
her two funnels have the right rakes for faultless smartness. They 
don’t look as if they had quarrelled because of any varying inclina¬ 
tions. Her promenade decks are white and smooth—every plank 
white and smooth as a soldier’s belt. Inwardly the ship is in

spaciousness magnificent, in sumptuousness more than palatial. 
There is a place for everything and everything is in its right place— 
everything, not excepting one’s breakfeast. The smoke-room is 
fit for a Grand Mogul; the dining-room, gold arabesque scroll work, 
on an ivory-tinted ground, allows of 300 sitting down at once, and 
is simply superb. Overhead on deck all is trim and taut, in the 
yachtlike dandizette sense of the term. No Emperor and no 
Grand Caliph has a yacht like this. Kings and Princes are, after 
all, of the necessitous classes, for their means don’t come up to 
their ideas. They cannot afford to have yachts 600 feet in length, 
and immaculately nice, because kept in a condition of perpetual 
newness. The best thing about this ship is her look of intelligence. 
She is “a thing of life,” and the very throbbings of her heart put 
one more in sympathy with her as she steps in her stately way 
across half a dozen waves at once upon ‘‘an even keel”—her pride 
of bearing splendid. The stewards are good specimens of trained 
perceptiveness. They are thought-readers, and anticipate my 
wants. They are observant and alert in making everbody comfort¬ 
able—a great matter in a trans-Atlantic racer. 

Already the chivalrous courtesy of the Republic greets our party 
by cable. There is something of antique orientalism in the scale 
and style of the hospitalities we are pressed to accept. To be 
worthy of it we ought to have chartered the “Majestic” for the 
trip, and festooned her round with hanging folds of crimson cloth, 
gold fringed for the occasion. 

Queenstown is now in sight, and Erin, seen through a shower, is 
tearful.— Sheffield Telegraph, April 8th, 1893. 


A T Queenstown the lace-selling women, in the boats alongside, 
do, in the riot of their rivalry of tongues, make more noise than 
a flock of cockatoos. Saucy and shrill, they exchange jokes with the 
passengers, and they give, in the commodity of sarcasm, good 
change. But what a babel they set up ! It would take the 
“Majestic’s” steam trumpet and all the big guns on the bare 
heights here to shout them down. 

Now the “Majestic” slips away to sea—the upper half of her 
gliding through the air, the nether half slitting the blue, tearing

through it with such strength that to talk of her as “ploughing the 
main” or of turning it over in “furrows” is to belittle her style 
of progress. She rips it open in flying sheets, flings it from her to 
the left and the right, in concave masses, white as Alpine ranges ; 
charges through it and over it, amid spray-clouds, that recall the 
smoke, and amid sounds that resemble the roar of battle, and this, 
too, so joyously that the passengers inhale exhilaration from the 
scenes. From stem to stern she carries with her on each side a 
flowing robe of snow-white foam. Outside and well beyond this 
vestment of white are the mounded waves that have felt the weight 
and might of her impact. These, beaten back, broken, routed, 
leap and bound from her in curved lines, clambering over each 
other’s shoulders, as if in panic haste to get out of her way. From 
base to summit these bow-waves are dazzling white. At the stem 
they cling to the ship, but at the shoulder they shoot away from 
her with a noise like the noise of breakers—a-booming and a 
s-w-i-s-h on some storm-swept reef. They beat against and break 
upon the outer waste of dark blue. They go leaping and bounding 
along with us. And as they rear their maned heads one over the 
other, the wind tears off long tracks of foam which float away in 
the air. Now we pass one crowded steam liner and now another— 
ay, shoot past them as if they were at anchor. “ Swish, sw-u-s-sh, 
sh-u-w-i-sh” are the liquid noises borne in through my cabin 
window, as I write. The shouts are those of the hollow break¬ 
ers that stride along like giant foot-men trailing an acre and 
a half of foam over a plain of ultramarine. On each side of this 
superb ship a wide carpet of ermine is thus spread for her dainty 
feet. Ours is the steam express, and the surging sea all around us 
cries almost as plainly as words can put it—“Out of the way! 
Out of the way!” Picture to yourself, reader, a gently “rolling 
prairie,” all deeply, darkly, beautifully blue, and on this expanse of 
liquid ultramarine a palace-hotel fashioned to the semblance of a 
ship—a miracle of strange device, a sunny pleasure-dome with 
alcoves of ivory and gold. The palace-hotel lives, moves, breathes, 
and is “ all glorious within in all things faultlessly neat; in all 
delicately nice ; in all immaculately clean. Her tables are sumptu¬ 
ously spread, her arbours for loungers are luxurious in the extreme, 
her lofty and spacious dining saloon is a dream. The elegance of 












this surpassing craft has in it a something invidious. Sleeping 
berths, deck houses, officers’ apartments, private state rooms, 
corridors, are all of the dainty hue of ivory, slightly relieved, and 
the effect is in its brightness, gaiety and freshness most light¬ 
some. You might suppose her to be a home for etherealised ex¬ 
istence, until you saw the bewildering variety of meats and drinks 
evolved in some mysterious manner from her kitchens for the 
refreshing of the 1,701 souls here on board. To me, as I write, 
the ship seems steady as a rock. Yet such is the power of imagi¬ 
nation that some three per cent, of the guests are in the seclusion 
of their cabins, trying to make believe that they are ill. This is un¬ 
conscionable. Really people should be just before they are gener¬ 
ous. I dislike ostentation. “Ye should aye keep something to 
yersel,” say the Scotch, and among the somethings one should keep 
to oneself is the secret of what one has had for breakfast. The 
air is appetising, the free, fresh ozone is inspiriting, the brisk music

CABIN DINING SALOON, AND 





































































T O the question which I am asked daily : “ What will it cos 
to do Europe?” 1 would say that the cost will depend 
in a great measure upon the individual. 

Cost of Trip. —It has been demonstrated, times out of 
number, that a three months’ European tour may be indulged in at % 
the moderate outlay of $500, and, on the other hand, expenses can 
run up into thousands of dollars for the same length of time. As a 
fair average, expenses may be placed at from five to six dollars per 
day, which includes ocean fares, meals on steamship, and hotel and 
travelling expenses generally, but, of course, does not include the pur¬ 
chase of clothing, curiosities, souvenirs, etc. An American tour— 
j: including United States, Canada, and Mexico—of the same duration, 

| may be made for a like amount. 

Learning the “ Ropes.” —It is needless to say that almost every- 
f one makes a second voyage more agreeably than the first, and the 
I reasons are obvious. The, “ ropes ” have been seen and learned, and 
i the problem what to carry and what not to carry, what to wear and 
| what not to wear, has been successfully solved. 

ENGAGING Passage. —By all means engage your passage as far 
in advance as your plans will admit, for the good staterooms are 
secured weeks and even months ahead, and one trip will suffice to 
convince the sceptic that one’s berth or stateroom is a very impor¬ 
tant point, involving either great discomfort or unqualified satisfac¬ 
tion. 

• Choice of Berths. —The best location is as nearly amidships as 
possible; forward of the engines is preferable. 

. Passports. —It is very desirable that visitors to Europe provide 
themselves with passports, which are always useful, and the possession 
of the same secures many privileges. They should always be carried 




SUGGESTIONS. 






















on the person. A passport is necessary for the Turkish 
dominion, including Egypt and Palestine, and also 
for Greece. Passports may be obtained through any 
lawyer or notary public, or direct from the State De¬ 
partment at Washington, the cost being $i from the 
latter, which amount should be sent along with an affidavit 
duly sworn to before a notary. They should be applied for 
several days previous to sailing. An American born woman mar- 
ried to an unnaturalized resident of the United States, is not an 
American citizen, and if she travels alone in Europe she should have 
a passport, issued by the authorities of her husband’s country. A pass¬ 
port for a man includes his wife and minor children. Ladies travelling 
alone may obtain passports in their own names. Passports are good 
for two years. 

Funds. —Before embarking for Europe it would be well to procure 
some foreign gold, or notes, for use on shipboard and incidental ex¬ 
penses on landing, according to the countries intended to be visited— 
English sovereigns, Bank of England notes, and French Napoleons, 
however, are readily taken everywhere in Europe. The safest as well 
as the most convenient way to carry the balance of travelling capital, if 
the amount be not large, is in sight drafts or circular notes. The lat¬ 
ter are payable on demand at the principal cities of Europe, in the 
currency of the country where presented, each note being issued for 
£10 sterling, or its equivalent ; they combine safety together with con¬ 
venience, and apply likewise to persons visiting America. When the 
amount is large circular letters of credit are generally used, being issued 
for sums of $500 and upward, payable at any place desired, and the 
balance, if any, is paid in full to persons on their return. Drafts and 
letters of credit issued for English money are more advantageous to pas¬ 
sengers than those for French, German, or other money—even though 
they may not intend visiting England—the exchange favors Engla^ 


Passengers may have small amounts exchanged by the purser 


on some lines, and by the chief steward on other lines. 






Valuables. —All valuables, money, jewelry, etc., should be handed 
to the purser for safe-keeping, who will give a receipt for the same ; 
the companies provide a safe for that purpose, and do not hold them¬ 
selves responsible for any lo§s if kept in staterooms. Passengers should 
lock their doors on leaving rooms, as robberies from staterooms have 
occurred while steamships lay at their docks just before sailing. 

Baggage. —The subject of baggage is an important one, and the 
writer desires to impress this particularly upon ocean travellers. It 
must be remembered that travel in Europe is very different from 
America ; that every additional piece of baggage incurs both trouble 
and expense, and that the matter of its conveyance is therefore worthy 
of consideration. Travellers must look after their baggage and see 
that it is put on board their train, and also taken off at the proper 
station, as the American system of checking baggage is not in opera¬ 
tion in Europe. 

A handy gripsack, carryall, rug, and shawl-strap are all the articles 
that should be indulged in. Avoid numerous bundles and parcels ; 
condense your baggage into as few packages as possible. A steamer 
trunk, for use during the voyage, is indispensable. 

Cabin passengers are allowed twenty cubic feet of baggage free to 
each adult. Labels and tags for baggage can generally be obtained 
upon application at the steamship company’s office. Passengers should 
arrange to have their baggage at the dock from two to three hours at 
least before sailing of steamship, being careful to have their names 
plainly marked on both trunks and hand baggage, as well as the number 
of their stateroom and the name of the steamship ; they should also 
personally see that it is in charge of the baggage-master, who ought to 
be informed what is to go in the baggage-room on board and what is de¬ 
sired in the stateroom. Baggage not claimed on the dock by the owner 
will not be put on board the steamship. All baggage should be dis¬ 
tinctly marked “wanted” or “not wanted” by the baggage-master, 
unless already so marked by the passenger. Trunks for staterooms 
should not be over thirteen inches in height, so as to readily slip under 




■r

the berth or sofa. Should any piece of baggage be required during 
the voyage the same may be obtained—weather permitting—upon 
application to the steward who has charge of the baggage. A large 
initial bn baggage facilitates the grouping of same on the dock after 
arrival. 

Passengers who intend leaving the steamship at a port of call, in¬ 
stead of continuing their journey to the terminal port of the line, should 
inform the baggage-master on the dock, as the baggage for each port 
is marked and separated from other baggage. 

Seats at Table. —The seats at the saloon table are allotted soon 
after the steamship leaves the dock. The second steward generally is 
charged with this duty on the American and British lines ; on the 
French, German, Netherlands, and Belgian lines the chief steward at¬ 
tends to the seating of passengers. Ascertain who the proper per¬ 
son is, without loss of time, and secure your place. 

Baths. —Baths can be arranged for by applying to the bath stew¬ 
ard, and a certain hour appointed when you can take a bath every 
morning if you so desire. An early application is recommended. 

Boots and Shoes Cleaned. —The boots and shoes of passengers 
will be cleaned if left outside the stateroom door. 

Writing Materials, etc.— Writing paper, envelopes, stamps, 
telegraph blanks, and other requisites, may be obtained by applying to 
either the saloon steward or the library steward. 

Dress. —The matter of dress at sea requires more than a pass¬ 
ing thought, and, to ladies especially, the question of what to wear 
and what not to wear involves considerations both weighty and vex¬ 
atious. 

With a good travelling costume and a black silk dress a lady can go 
around the world with every regard for elegance and good taste. 
' Some few feminine whims and vanities may be sacrificed, but this will 
be more than offset by the relief to the pocketbook. 

Ladies should adopt a costume easily adjusted, and for comfort and 
general utility. A dress of dark-blue flannel, serge, or water-proof 



















cloth, with a sacque of the same material, will be found to answer all 
purposes. Let it be made up simply, without any flounces, and a lim¬ 
ited amount of ornamentation in the shape of military braid. Avoid 
tight-fitting waists. Thick boots, hoods and close-fitting hats, Tam-o’- 
Shanters, or yachting caps, together with thick veils, should not be 
forgotten. 

Gentlemen will find warm clothing and an overcoat in order for an 
Atlantic passage. A suit of old clothes to lounge around the deck 
without fear of spoiling, and a soft felt hat, or a cap of some kind, 
will be found serviceable. Most gentlemen will need a black suit for 
dress occasions. 

Doctor. —Experienced doctors are attached to all steamships, 
whose services are gratuitous so far as steerage passengers are con¬ 
cerned. Cabin passengers, however, generally expect to pay the doc¬ 
tor whenever he prescribes for them. First-class passengers are not 
supposed to rate themselves as pauper patients. 

Sea-sickness, Advice and Remedies for. —The subject of sea¬ 
sickness is too important to be overlooked, and yet it is almost impos¬ 
sible to make rules for the entire prevention of this unwelcome visitor. 
Certain precautions can be taken, which, if attended to in proper time, 
will certainly have a tendency to favor the traveller. 

It is positively necessary to have the system in good condition be¬ 
fore starting ; a gentle purgative will be as effective as anything. 
Avoid rich or greasy food for a few days previous to sailing. Remain ^ 
on deck as much as possible the first day out, and keep on your feet. 
Walk the promenade deck continually and you will soon become ™ 
accustomed to the ship’s motion. 

If possible, select a sunny, protected nook on deck, where the deck • 
chair will be solid, inhale the fresh air, avoid looking at the water as 
much as possible, and occupy the mind with some interesting book. If 
a contribution to Neptune becomes unavoidable, do not become dis¬ 
couraged, but continue to eat; on no account leave the stomach empty. 

No matter if the food is rejected a number of times, summon the 






















deck steward and try it again. Should the stateroom and a recum¬ 
bent position be found necessary, remain for twenty-four hours quiet, 
and be very particular in the selection of your food. Cracked wheat 
and oatmeal porridge will be found excellent, and a moderate use of 
champagne, or brandy and soda, will tone the stomach. A little Jamaica 
ginger, or a few drops of camphor in a glass of water, will agree with 
many. Lemons have been known to produce a happy effect. 

Fancy Work for Ladies. —The writer would suggest that ladies 
go well provided with some fancy work, like knitting or crocheting. 

Reading. —Reading matter should not be overlooked or under- 
estimated ; but it is surprising how soon one gets tired of a novel on 
shipboard. Novels of a tame, tranquil order should be left at home. 

Fello\v-Voyagers. —Good company and congenial companions 
are welcome acquisitions all the world over, but especially so on the 
deck of an ocean steamship, and the pleasant memories connected with 
an ocean trip linger long and lovingly in the minds of the voyagers. 

Rest. —Rest by all means somewhere before undertaking the jour¬ 
ney by rail, after leaving the steamship. It is necessary for health, 
and is one of the economics of strength which experience has taught 
travellers generally. 

Gratuities on Board. —The matter of gratuities is worthy of some 
consideration, and while every question has two sides, it must be re¬ 
membered that the stewards and stewardesses are too important an 



adjunct to comfort afloat to be ignored on a mere matter of principle 
or prejudice. The custom as in hotels has long been established, and 
extra attention given to passengers’ wants should certainly warrant the 
outlay. Of course there is nothing compulsory about it, but if special 
attention be expected or desired beyond the performance of the duty 
for which they are paid by the company, then, in all reason, a gift 
should be forthcoming. 

Letters and Telegrams for Passengers. —Letters for passen¬ 
gers on steamships arriving at or departing from any of the calling 
rts of such steamships, should be addressed in the manner of 


4 







accompanying- illustration. 

Eight or nine days, at least, 
should be allowed for the transit of 
letters from New York intended to catch out¬ 
ward bound steamships at such.exiling ports. 

The name and address of the sender should always be printed 
or written on the envelope, so that it may be returned to the writer 
in case it cannot be delivered. 

Letters intended to catch passengers on outward bound steamships 
calling at Queenstown, may be posted in any part of the United King¬ 
dom up to the time at which ordinary registered letters are received 
for American mail going by that steamship, but they must be regis¬ 
tered , and the postage and registration fee must be fully prepaid. To 
insure their delivery they must be addressed to the care of the com¬ 
mander, as all such letters are placed in what is known as the com¬ 
mander’s special registered mail bag, which is delivered on board with 
the American mails. 

Telegrams sent to care of agent, whose cable address may be ob¬ 
tained at offices of the line in America, frequently reduces cost of 
message. At Queenstown a charge of live shillings extra is made for 
delivery of message on board a ship. 

Pilot Boats. —The Sandy Ilook pilot boat fleet formerly consisted 
of thirty boats, and the cruising ground extended from Sandy Hook 
to about four hundred miles off the coast, but the fleet has now been 
reduced to one-third of that number, with a steam station boat, or 











“ take-off” boat. The cruising ground has also been greatly dimin¬ 
ished, and now extends cmly from Fire Island to Barnegat, forming 
the arc of a circle, with Sandy Hook the radiating point. 

Selection of Hotels in Europe and America. —Be care¬ 
ful to select only first-class hotels. The difference in price be¬ 
tween the best and those of lower grades is so trifling that there 
really is no saving in the matter when comfort is taken into ac¬ 
count. It is bad policy to deny yourself comfortable accommoda¬ 
tion when the same is within your reach. The best hotels are, with¬ 
out a doubt, the cheapest in the end, and should always be given the 
preference. 


Europeans visiting the United States, or Americans visiting Europe, 
previous to landing would do well to have made a selection of the 
hotels which they intend patronizing. 



Customs Regulations in Europe and America. —As most 
travellers have more or less material to bring back from Europe, and 
many lack experience so far as Customs regulations are concerned, the 
writer would advise that, under no circumstances, should trifliner with 
government officials be attempted. Invariably any departure from the 
paths of rectitude and honesty has but one ending—disaster, publicity, 
and humiliation. It does not pay. 

1 he courts have decided that individuals are entitled to bring into 
the United States, free of duty, any quantity of wearing apparel that 
their means and station in life entitle them to carry in just reason. 
Clothing should be made up. In the order named the following are 
the principal articles subject to duty : Pipes—meerschaum, wood, etc. 
—and smokers’ articles ; perfumery ; china and glassware ; laces and 
embroideries , jewelry , pearls and precious stones; cutlery ; knives 
and razors; hosiery and underwear; silks and silk goods; woollen 
clothing , firearms ; paints and colors ; watches and clocks ; tobacco, 
cigars, and cigarettes ; furs ; alcohol, brandies, spirits, and liqueurs ; 
champagnes, etc. 

There are now but few articles subject to duty in Great Britain— 

















perfumery, spirits, liqueurs, tobacco, and cigars being the principal 
items. Only half a pound of cigars are admitted free. American re¬ 
prints of works copyrighted in Great Britain, and also firearms, are 
liable to confiscation. 

The French Customs officers are very polite, but they make a thor¬ 
ough search for tobacco, matches, wines, and liqueurs. Matches are 
strictly prohibited and liable to confiscation, as also tobacco, except in 
small quantities for personal use. Household goods and wearing ap¬ 
parel admitted free, with but few if any questions asked. The penalty 
is heavy for false declarations. 

In Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Belgium, the only articles sub¬ 
ject to duty which travellers would be likely to have with them are 
tobacco and spirits, and on these the duty is very trifling. Travellers 
fare still better in the Netherlands, as even tobacco and spirits are 
exempt from duty, as well as everything else necessary for them to 
carry. , 

On arrival at the port of New York the Customs officers board 
the vessel in the upper bay, after leaving quarantine, and im¬ 
mediately repair to the saloon, where declarations are made and 
j signed by the passengers as to the contents of their trunks, and 
! that they have only their own personal effects with them, and no 
presents for others. A description of the baggage and the num¬ 
ber of pieces must be given. The baggage is examined on the 
dock when vessel arrives,. and is checked by the declarations made 
on board. 

Baggage by Express in Bond. —The principal express compan¬ 
ies have representatives in attendance on the dock, who issue receipts 
to passengers desiring their baggage sent through to destination in 
bond , which saves delay of examination on the dock. 

Railway Travel in Europe and America, with Baggage 
Regulations. —In Europe the first-class railway carriages are luxur¬ 
iously appointed. In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and on the 
express trains in Italy and France, second-class carriages are exceed- 





Ca A

ingly comfortable, and are patronized by 
most tourists. In the United Kingdom, 
however, even the third-class is comfortable, and 
so much improved that .on some railways, where the second-class 
has been abolished, the third-class has been substituted, and is largely 
patronized. Smoking is allowed in all compartments on the German 
'’and Austrian railways, except in those labelled “ Fur Nichtraucher,” 
but in the United Kingdom, France, and Italy smoking is allowed 
only in compartments that are designated for that purpose. 

The amount of baggage carried free in the United Kingdom on 
each first-class ticket, is 120 pounds ; second-class, ioo pounds ; third- 
class, 6o pounds. In France each passenger is generally allowed 66 
pounds, and in Holland and many parts of Germany, 50 pounds, but 
in some districts of Germany and Switzerland, Belgium, Bavaria, and 
Italy, all baggage, except hand baggage, must be paid for, unless 
otherwise stated on ticket. 

On American railways the fares are exceedingly moderate, and 
few travel other than first-class. An extra charge, of course, is made 
for the parlor cars and sleeping cars, which are well patronized 
even for comparatively short journeys. There is a smoking car on 
ail trains, and a compartment on the parlor and sleeping cars for 
smoking. 





0, ~ > 1 /vt 


Tickets should always be procured before boarding the train, a sav¬ 
ing being thereby effected, and should only be purchased at regular 
ticket offices. The fare is generally less by purchasing tickets through 
to destination than by purchasing tickets from one intermediate point 
to another. Limited tickets, with few exceptions, are good only for a 
continuous journey, and do not entitle the traveller to stop-off privileges. 
Unlimited tickets or summer excursion tickets, within the time of their 
limit, entitle the traveller to stop over at any point upon application to 
the conductor. 

Baggage to the extent of 150 pounds is allowed free on each first- 
class ticket by all railways, with but few exceptions.

DISTINGUISHING SHIPS AT SEA. 


C OMMANDERS of vessels generally exchange signals when pass¬ 
ing each other. Flags are used during the day, and colored 
lights at night. 

In the daytime it is a simple matter for passengers to distinguish 
the steamships of the different lines by their funnels and house flags, 
and the names of the ships may also be learned when they exchange 
signals, as each ship’s name is represented in the International Signal 
Code for Merchant Vessels by four letters, or flags, which are run up 
to a stay immediately above the bridge, being strung one below the 
other, and read downward. 

When it is known to which line a vessel belongs, and she shows her 
colors, her name may then be ascertained by comparing her four signal 
flags with the properly colored letters of international signal code on 
back cover, and then turning to the signal letters of each steamship of 
that line in the “ Register of Principal Passenger Steamships.” 

Each line has a different night signal, and the officers of one line, 
being familiar with the movements of the fleet of all the other lines, 
know which vessel is, or ought to be, in that immediate vicinity. 

A ship’s hull may be seen on a very clear day from the promenade 
deck of a large steamship about ten nautical miles away, and the top 
of her masts may be seen about fifteen nautical miles. 

On pages 12 and 13 will be found illustrations of nearly every 
, type of sailing vessel likely to be seen while crossing the Atlantic, 
which will, no doubt, prove an interesting study to thousands of 
passengers who are not sufficiently 
acquainted with the different types @ 

of ships to be able to call them 
by their proper names, and 
will save the officers being 
asked a great many needless 
questions.

HOW TIME IS KEPT ON SHIPBOARD. 


H' HE twenty-four hours are divided into seven parts, and the crew 

A is mustered into two divisions or watches, designated Port Watch 
and Starboard Watch. Each watch is on duty four hours. From 4 
to 8 p.m. is divided into two watches of two hours each, called Dog 
Watches ; this division changes the watches every day. The watch which 
has the forenoon one day has the afternoon next day, and the men who 
have only four hours’ rest one night have eight hours’ rest next night. 

There are no dog watches in the French service ; the crew keeping 
the same watches during the voyage—six watches of four hours each. 
On the Netherlands ships the watches are changed daily by means of 
an eight-hour watch—noon to 8 P.M. 

Order of the Watches : First Watch, 8 p.m. to midnight ; Middle 
Watch, midnight to 4 a.m. ; Morning Watch, 4 to 8 a.m. Forenoon 
Watch, 8 a.m. to noon ; Afternoon Watch, noon to 4 p.m. ; First 
Dog Watch, 4 to 6 p.m. ; Second Dog Watch, 6 to 8 p.m. 

The time is announced every half-hour, both A.M. and P.M., by 
striking a bell, each stroke being called a bell, which indicates the time 
as follows : one bell, 12.30, 4.30, 8.30 ; two bells, 1.00, 5.00, 9.00 ; 
three bells, 1.30, 5.30, 9.30 ; four bells, 2.00, 6.00, 10.00 ; five bells, 

2.30, 6.30, 10.30; six bells, 3.00, 7.00, 11.00; seven bells, 3.30, 

7.30, 11.30; eight bells, 4.00, 8.00. 12.00. 

On British ships 6.30 p.m. (second dog watch), is one bell. 

The time is changed daily ; on the eastward trip the clocks are set 
forward four minutes for each degree of longitude, while in going to 
the westward they are set backward four minutes for the same interval. 

Observations are taken daily to determine the exact position of the 
ship, which is marked on a chart, together with the distance run since 
noon the previous day, and posted in a conspicuous place for the infor¬ 
mation of passengers. 

The average length of day on a 20-knot Atlantic liner going eastward 
is 23 hours, 10 minutes ; going westward it is 24 hours, 50 minutes.

OD save our Gracious Queen, 
Long live our noble Queen, 
God save the Queen. 

Send her victorious, 

Happy and glorious, 

Long to reign over us, 

God save the Queen. 

Thy choicest gifts in store 
On her be pleased to pour ; 

Long may she reign. 

May she defend our laws, 

And ever give us cause 
To sing with heart and voice, 

God save the Queen. 

O Lord, our God, arise. 

Scatter her enemies, 

And make them fall; 
Confound their politics, 1 

Frustrate their knavish tricks, 

On thee our hopes we fix, 

God save us all. 


AMERICA. 

TV/T Y country ! ’tis of thee, 
Sweet land of liberty— 
Of thee I sing : 

Land, where my fathers died ; 
Land of the pilgrim’s pride ; 
From every mountain side 
Let freedom ring. 

My native country ! thee— 
Land of the noble free— 

Thy name I love ; 

I love thy rocks and rills, 

Thy woods and templed hills ; 
My heart with rapture thrills, 
Like that above. 

Let music swell the breeze, 
And ring from all the trees 
Sweet freedom’s song : 
Let mortal tongues awake, 

Let all that breathe partake, 
Let rocks their silence break, 
The sound prolong. 

Our father’s God ! to thee— 
Author of liberty ! 

To thee we sing. 

Long may our land be bright, 
With freedom’s holy light— 
Protect us by Thy might, 
Great God, our King. 


AULD LANG SYNE.

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER, 


f~\ H, say, can you see by the dawn’s early light, 

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming ; 
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, 
On the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming, 

And the rocket’s red glare, the shells bursting in air, 

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there : 

Oh, say, does the star-spangled banner yet wave 
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave ? 

On the shore dimly seen, through the mists of the deep, 

Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes, 

What is that which the breeze o’er the towering steep, 

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses ? 

Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam ; 

In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream ; 

’Tis the star-spangled banner, oh, long may it wave 
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 



SENTIMENT AT SEA. 


'T'HE sea, the sea, the boundless sea, 
So open, clear, and breezy ! 
(Whatever can this feeling be 
Which makes me so uneasy ?) 


My wondrous love for thee doth burn 
This moment without doubt ; 

(Great Scott ! I fear my breast will turn 
Completely inside out.) 


Thou stretchest far from pole to pole— 
Thou brookest no resistance ! 

(I wish the vessel wouldn’t roll 
With such a strange persistence.) 


Continue then, O boundless sea. 
Thy rolling to and fro ; 

(It strikes me very forcibly 
I’d better run below.) 



The earth our admiration draws, 
But thou in size art double ; 

(O Lord ! whatever is the cause 
Of this interior trouble ?) 

I love to gaze on thy expanse— 
So limitless—so grand ! 

(And yet I wish I had the chance 
Of quickly reaching land.) 



















FOUR CHAPTERS OF HINTS. 


Chapter I.—Don’t ! 

D ON’T ENDEAVOR TO TALK THE CAPTAIN TO 
DEATH. 

Don’t monkey with the donkey-engine. 

’t deny that you are ill when you are. 

Don’t take everybody’s remedy for sea-sickness. 

Don’t seek for a nautical education in one trip. 

Don’t eat as if there were to be but one meal a day. 

Don’t go to the table unless confident of your ability to stay there. 
Don’t consider that you sing or play well enough to refuse to con¬ 
tribute to the concert. 

Don’t carry on a flirtation with girls who are travelling to get married. 
Don’t try to be gallant with ladies on deck unless you have your 
“ sea legs ” on. 

Don t quarrel with the fat man who always appropriates somebody’s 
deck chair. 

Don t delude yourself with the idea that the people in the next 
stateroom can’t hear you talk. 

Don’t forget to assure the captain that you will never, no, never, 
sail with any one else. 




Don’t make too much of an exhibition of yourself if you are not 
feeling like Richard. 

Don’t forget that you are not the only passenger ; this is a very 
common mistake. 

Don’t fatigue the captain by sitting in his seat or loitering at meals 
waiting for him to appear, just to show your fellow-passengers how 
friendly you are with him ; ladies should take this hint. 

Don’t tell “everybody” on board ship the exact num¬ 
ber OF TIMES YOU HAVE CROSSED THE SEA. 




18 


\ 


' 







Don’t he sentimental or romantic enough to recite 

POETRY, EVEN ON MOONLIGHT NIGHTS. 

Don t think that everybody knows how very important you 
are when you are at home. ^ 

Don t put more money into pools than you can spare ; this is 
quite important. 

Don t think it is a part of the officers’ duty to answer the most dif¬ 
ficult questions ; conundrums are fatiguing. 

Don’t forget the third commandment when you go heels over head 
on deck. 

Don’t be too “ uppish ; ” such passengers always bump their heads 
and get tar on their clothes. 

Don’t think it is smart or clever to go ashore without “tipping” 
the stewards. 

Don’t entertain nervous old ladies with tales of awful wrecks and 
disasters at sea. 

Don’t seek to establish acquaintanceship by sending wine at dinner 
to celebrities. 

Don’t abuse the mothers of crying babies ; remember we all began 
life as infants. 

Don’t forget to give your ship clothes to the steward ; he knows 
how r to utilize them. 

Don’t sing the songs in the saloon at night that were hackneyed in 
the time of Japhet. 

Don’t rebel when you are “chalked” for curiosity, but cheerfully 
pay your “ footing.” 

Don’t be too dignified or exclusive ; salt water, like death, is no 
respecter of persons. 

Don’t forget to keep a diary ; the leading publishers may be after 
it one of these days ; blank pages are provided in this book for that 
purpose. 

Don’t sympathize with those that are sea-sick, for it 

ONLY INCREASES AND INTENSIFIES THEIR MISERY. 

19 












\ T X 

? Don’t forget to tell the mother of four grown daugh¬ 



ters THAT YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE HER SISTERS. 

Don’t forget that good manners count for more at sea than when 
you are ashore. 

Don’t be captious and argumentative ; life at sea is too short for 
such idiosyncrasies. 

Don’t play cards for money with men whom you do not know any¬ 
thing about. 

Don’t make an exhibition of your illness ; seek the seclusion some 
isolated place grants. 

Don’t air your religious convictions on Sunday ; remember the rules 
for a visit to Rome. 

Don’t regale people with all your plans ; reserve a few particulars 
for a rainy day. 

Don’t imagine that nobody knows the difference between inal de 
iner and over-indulgence. 

Don’t experiment with your fascinating qualities on the wrong pas¬ 
senger ; it has led to trouble. 

Don’t sing the songs in the smoking room you would not care for 
your mother or sister to hear. 

Don’t try to cure illness peculiar to sea voyage ; the only known 
cure is to remain ashore. 

Don’t introduce the subject of bodily ailments at meals ; it destroys 
the little appetite some passengers have. 

Don’t ask questions about the London and Continental trains the 
moment the ship gets outside of Sandy Hook ; there is plenty of 
time. 

Don’t sing “Nancy Lee” every time you are asked to sing; if it 
is the only song you know, have a sore throat; besides, “Nancy” 
is dead ! 

Don’t go through Europe as if the fellow whose name 
is never mentioned in polite society was after you with 

A SHARP STICK !

Will I have time to go ashore with the mails while they are being 
landed ? 

llow much does your uniform cost? 

What makes the water so green ? 

Do you know a good tailor in London ? 


Chapter III.—Never! 



N EVER WEAR a HIGH HAT OUTSIDE SANDY HOOK ; THAT KIND 
OF HEAD-GEAR ON SHIPBOARD IS A SIGNAL FOR RIDICULE. 
Never be late in getting aboard, for the gang-plank is like “time 
and tide.” 

Never have a weeping farewell ; there is always hypocrisy in de¬ 
monstrative leave-taking. 

Never insist upon having your Saratoga trunk put in your state¬ 
room ; the former is too big, the latter too small. 

Never lose your appetite because you have the seat at table you don’t 
want ; be thankful you are at the table at all. 

Never ask too many favors and attentions from steward and steward¬ 
ess if you do not intend to financially reward them when you go ashore. 

Never expect the pilot to put stamps on the letters you give him to 
post to friends you leave behind ; he is not a philanthropist. 

Never take anybody’s “sure cure” for sea-sickness; there never 
has been and there never will be any “ sure cure.” 

Never stand or sit around the funnel on deck to get warm ; the penalty 
of this imprudence is feeling the next day as if you had been boiled. 
Never attempt to be familiar with captain or officers, 

THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING INTIMATE AND FAMILIAR RESTS EN¬ 
TIRELY WITH THEM, AND ONLY ONCE IN A THOUSAND YEARS 
DO THEY AVAIL THEMSELVES OF IT. 





Never walk the deck all nigiit long ; people are try¬ 
ing TO SLEEP UNDERNEATH, AND IT IS SINFUL TO TEMPT THEM 
TO CURSE AND SWEAR AT YOU. 

Never find fault with the way in which your berth is made up ; the 
style is peculiar, but as your bed is made aboard ship so must you lie 

in it. 

Never affect to be better than your fellow-passengers ; when you 
get ashore you may resume haughtiness, exclusiveness, and snobbish¬ 
ness, too, if you like. 

Never take medicine at meals ; in olden times passengers who did 
this were thrown overboard, and the custom should never have been 
discontinued. 

Never make bold to ask the captain for the loan of his whisk-broom 
or blacking-brush ; he is not the proper person to whom such requests 
are to be made. 

Never give way to sea-sickness ; fight it down, exercise will power 
and keep on the fight, even if it takes all the voyage. 

Never sneer at the religious services in the saloon on Sundays ; 
keep away if you think you will be better for so doing, but don’t 
brand yourself a fool. 

Never ask for your trunk in the hold when all you want 
to get out of it is a spool of thread, a paper of pins, or 
a tooth-brush. 

Never play cards with strangers or accept arti¬ 
ficial courtesies that will put you under obligations 
to them ; this is well worth remembering. 

Never boast. Boreas is the only blower tolerated 
at sea, and albeit he is tolerated, his coming is 
never welcome. 

Never quarrel in your stateroom; sounds 

EMANATE FROM THERE IN SEVERAL WAYS, AND 
YOUR FELLOW-PASSENGERS WILL REGARD YOl 
WITH SUSPICION. 

23 







\ 1 











Never strive to be the only witty person on board ; 

IN A CROWD OF TWO OR THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE THERE IS 
ALWAYS LIABLE TO BE MORE THAN ONE FUNNY MAN. 

Never make preparatory plans to keep a journal on shipboard ; men 
and women propose, but the motion of the ship often frustrates liter¬ 
ary plans. 

Never let your sentimental feelings rise unless you are sincere and 
want to abide by them ; quantities of people have got into trouble in 


this way. 

Never swear when you fall on deck, or bump your head in the cabin ; 
recite carefully one of the deceased Watts’ ever pleasant, soothing, and 
efficacious hymns ! 

Never try to be the first man ashore, dozens fall heels over head 
at the completion of every voyage endeavoring for this transient dis¬ 
tinction. 

Never omit to contribute to the seaman’s fund ; you owe it as 
a thank offering for a safe voyage to the “haven where you fain 
would be.” 

Never, when asked to sing, select a song about a shipwreck, a 
drowning man, separated from friends, or a death'in the family; 
people don’t want to be melancholy in travelling. 

Never expect to get first-class accommodations at second-class rates ; 
the service is not regulated that way. 

Never forget the location and number of your stateroom ; the 
attention of near-sighted and stupid folk is particularly called to 
this hint. 

Never form a prejudice against the man who is to be your room-mate ; 
you may both be entertaining angels unawares. 

Never affect to be on terms of intimacy with the captain ; remem¬ 
ber the fable of the big lion and the tiny mouse. 

Never ask more than fifty friends “to come down and 
SEE YOU OFF ; ” they are in the way, and the price of 
champagne is high. 
















Never indulge in soups at the first dinner unless you know yourself 
to be a sailor ; consomme is not an antidote for sea-sickness. 

Never proclaim the doctrines of superstition when the voyage be¬ 
gins ; it will cause you to be looked upon as a descendant of Jonah. 

Never ask the stewards for railway time-tables the first day out ; 
there will be plenty of trains leaving for everywhere when you arrive. 

Never call the steward “ waiter,” or the stewardess “ missus ; ” this 
will put you down at once as one who has never been to sea before. 

Never be disagreeable if you can help it; bear in mind the best 
social capital on shipboard is affability and courtesy to all. 

Never recommend to old women your cure for sea-sickness ; if it 
does not do them good they never forgive you the suggestion. 

Never try to eat simply because you want to get your money’s 
worth of every feature of the voyage ; everybody has to make sacri¬ 
fices in life. 

Never, that is, “ hardly ever,” volunteer to hold a 

BABY WHILE MAMMA GOES ON DECK FOR A BREATH OF AIR ; SHE 
MAY NEVER COME BACK ! 

Never tell your fellow-passengers how many of your relatives were 
lost at sea ; such information is an obstacle to hilarity. 

Never go prowling around where your conscience tells you you have 
no business to be ; this will save snubs and possible humiliation. 

Never air your nautical knowledge among seafaring men ; if you 
do, you will quickly be convinced how much you don’t know. 

Never find fault with the ship, its officers or crew ; it was your own 
selection, and everybody at sea cordially hates a grumbler. 

Never affect to have “sea legs ” when you have not; pride and 
dignity fall on shipboard just as suddenly as on shore. 

Never laugh first at your own jokes in the smoking room ; it is more 
modest to allow some one else to lead the merriment. 

Never pocket the money you win on the day’s run, or the pilot-boat 
number ; the passengers will suspect you to be a miser, and the stew¬ 
ard will be disappointed. 

25 















































Never disturb a passenger lying in a comatose state on a lounge in 
the saloon ; all such torpid invalids want is to be let severely alone. 

Never ask the deck steward to take care of your chair gratui¬ 
tously. 

Never hang a celluloid collar on the electric light bracket unless you 
have more than one ; fire in the staterooms is not allowed. 

Never try to descend from the top berth head first under any cir¬ 
cumstances ; the feet and legs, by all means, afford the best facilities 
in this effort. 

Never imagine yourself in a hotel and throw your boots out into 
the corridor at 2 A.M., with noise loud enough to wake the dead and 
drive the living crazy ; the screw and waves make ail the disturbance 
passengers can bear. 

Never undertake a round of visits to your friends or 

ACQUAINTANCES IN THEIR STATEROOMS ; THEY ARE NOT THE 
PLACES FOR FORMAL CALLS, AND AT THEIR VERY BEST, RARELY 
ATTRACTIVE. 

Never take offense if, when you address officers or crew on duty, 
they do not respond ; with them life is too short for commonplace 
chatter. 

Never tell ancient jokes at dinner, or, for that matter, at any meal 
or time ; antique facetiousness sounds worse and is more wearisome at 
sea than it is anywhere else. 

Never attempt to give the officers any lessons in navigation ; as a 
rule most of them long ago forgot, as unimportant, far more than 
you, or any other landsman, ever knew. 

Never grumble if the screw breaks and the voyage is prolonged, or, 
in fact, at any mishap ; be thankful it is no worse and make the best 
of everything. 

Never be first to rush on deck at every cry of “whale” or “ice¬ 
berg ; ” the little boy who prematurely called “ wolf ” is not dead yet. 

Never try to be every woman’s gallant and friend ; it is a great mis¬ 
take, albeit the experiment is frequently but never successfully made. 

26 












Never lead the conversation at meals to subjects that 
ruinous to appetite ; remember how very sensitive all 1 


Never help along or have anything to do with idle 
gossip or scandal on shipboard ; keep your own skirts 
clear and clean, and offer up a prayer for those you be¬ 
lieve to be in need of intercession. 


Never imagine the music of a crying baby 

PLEASES ANYBODY DAY OR NIGHT. 



man senses are at sea. 

Never lose your presence of mind or self-possession under any cir¬ 
cumstances ; this covers everything, from upsetting soup in your lap 
at dinner to the bursting of the boilers at the dead of night. 

Never be fastidious, captious, fussy, fault-finding, capricious, or 
critical ; at longest the voyage is brief, and a few days’ self-restraint 
is good discipline for everybody on board. 

Never try to be “ smart; ” smart men are often made to burn with 
mortification. Go over all nautical history from the time of the flood 
and note the awful fate of the “ smart ” men. 

Never gamble ; never become intoxicated ; never swear or other¬ 
wise make your fellow-passengers think what an awful thing it would 
be if you were suddenly drowned ! 

Never ask questions of the officers, the answers to which are not 
absolutely essential to your happiness ; conundrums are fatiguing. 

Never seek to make an effort to know passengers whom you believe 
to be conservative ; a snub at sea is just as humiliating to. the sensi¬ 
tive as the “ cut direct” on land. 


Never expect the steward or stewardess to devote all their 


time and attention exclusively to you ; a great many selfish 


people are continually making this mistake. There are others 
to be attended to. 


Never put your steamer trunk in the top berth ; 

THE FALL THEREOF IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT CAN ONLY BE 



COMPARED TO AN EARTHQUAKE AT SEA. 
27 








Never try to bully Custom House officials on either 

END OF THE LINE; THE “HUMBLE MEN OF HEART” ALWAYS 
EMERGE FROM THE LARGEST END OF THE HORN. 

Never criticise your fellow-passengers ; remember we are only re¬ 
sponsible for ourselves, and that millions are to be made by attending 
strictly to individual business. 

Never attempt to ascend the navigating bridge unless you are 
invited ; the captain or officers may give you a sharp setback for 
your rashness. 

Never wear your best clothes or a high hat on shipboard ; if you do 
the garments will be ruined and the hat only suitable for the St. 
Patrick’s Day parade. 

Never go to meals if you doubt your ability to remain at table ; 
this lack of consideration for others has often disastrous results. 

Never sing songs the popularity of which was waning in 1492 ; if 
you do not know any others keep away from the piano as if it were a 
hydrophobic dog. 

Never presume to make a lounging place of any of the officers’ 
rooms ; when off duty they need rest, and they will not thank you 
for the intrusion. Avoid a snub. 

Never lose your head, no matter what happens aboard ship ; in 
times of trouble the headless person is invariably left. 

Never be disagreeable to your room mate ; there is no law com¬ 
pelling you even to speak to him after you have gone ashore, and it is 
always best to leave behind us pleasant impressions. 

Never endeavor to take a bath in your stateroom during a storm ; 
the tub is then a toboggan slide, and the would-be-bather an ani¬ 
mated mass of scars and bruises. 

Never visit the crew’s quarters without permission, and 

IF OBTAINED, NEVER WITHOUT EXPECTING TO PAY YOUR “FOOT¬ 
ING;” HE IS A MEAN MAN WHO SHIRKS THIS “VOLUNTARY RE¬ 
SPONSIBILITY.” 









































Chapter IV.—What for? Why? 


W HY is there always one passenger to arrive just as the gang¬ 
plank is pulled in ? 

Why are people ashamed to acknowledge that they have never been 
to sea before ? 

Why is it that the most impecunious men in the smoking room 
make the largest bets ? 

Why is it that passengers who are ill take such very little interest in 
gastronomy ? 

Why is it that amiable and agreeable stateroom mates are so few 
and far between ? 

Why is it that people of means and with vulgar manners will per¬ 
sist in making exhibitions of themselves ? 

Why do all the passengers look upon the captain as the one en¬ 
cyclopedia of the voyage ? 

Why do ancient maidens and old beaux always become 

SENTIMENTAL ON SHIPBOARD? 

Why are not passengers, whose table manners are disgusting, thrown 
overboard ? 

What reason is there to believe that profanity in any way alleviates 
sea-sickness ? 

Why do smokers of the worst cigars always join a company of 
ladies on deck ? 

What is it that makes the young “ society men” on ocean steam¬ 
ships so asinine and idiotic ? 

Why is it that the family skeleton is not given the purser to put in 
the safe ? 

Why does being asked to sing always gives the lady passenger an 
awful cough ? 

Why do the would-be fashionable women of fifty on shipboard 
dress and act like girls of sixteen ? 



29 













Why do so many passengers make the mistake of thinking they are 
the only people on board ? 

Why are married women prone to flirt at sea, who never indulge in 
the art when ashore ? 

Why does not a beam fall upon, or lightning strike the passenger 
who takes medicine at meals ? 

Why are passengers so inconsiderate that they want to visit the 
steerage as if it was a museum ? 

What does it profit a man to have made “over fifty trips to Eu¬ 
rope” if he is ill every time? 

Why does the fat woman who snores always get the 
berth next to the victim of insomnia ? 

W r hy is it that the man who is sea-sick does not care 
who’s elected, or what horse won the Derby ? 

Why do husband and wife quarrel in their stateroom 
fore everybody has gone to bed ? 

Why are matrimonial engagements contracted 

AT SEA SO SELDOM SUPPLEMENTED BY MARRIAGE? 

And to all of these, again, “ What for? Why? ” 


A MAN went to sea in a barque, 

And thought it would be a nice larque, 
But when it grew darque, 

He made this remarque : 

‘ I’d rather be hunting the sharque ! ” 


* * -x- 


A sailor who had a bad cough, 

Would grog most outrageously quough ; 
All advice did he scough, 

Till he sailed away ough, 

And was drowned in the sea of Azough !

CABLE CODE. 


HE following code will be found extremely 
useful, and a saving of great expense when 
cabling to friends about arrivals, departures, 
movements, funds, illness, and several other matters 
of importance, and may suffice for all ordinary pur¬ 
poses of passengers, both tourists and business people. 

The arrangement throughout is strictly alphabetical, 
and so simple in form that any person can understand, 
no previous knowledge of cable codes being necessary. 

Before starting on a trip the traveller should see that a copy of this book is 
in the hands of each person expected to be communicated with by cable, and 
application should be made at the head office of the cable or telegraph com¬ 
pany intended to be patronized fora registered cable address, /.<?., register a 
name or word to mean the full name and street address of the receiver. 
Example: Oceaniquk, Newyork, two words, would mean John H. Gould, 
and Ocean Publishing Company (street and number) New York City, as shown 
on the envelope in illustration. No charge is made for the registration of a 
cable address in the United States, Canada, or Great Britain, or in places 
where there are cable offices. In Continental Europe registered addresses can 
only be effected by the parties to whom messages are to be delivered. A fixed 
fee is charged by government telegraph administrations for registrations. The 
traveller should also arrange a name for himself for use abroad—it may be the 
same as the one selected for the parties left at home—and if remaining any 
length of time in one place Jt would be well to have his cable address regis¬ 
tered at the foreign telegraph office, or to notify that office where to forward 
cablegrams, and if the name he selected for himself before leaving home is 
already registered for somebody else, see cipher “ Nameless.” Nearly all bank¬ 
ers and hotels have registered cable addresses, and messages sent in their care

will be promptly delivered. A person's hotel may be the quickest reached. 

The blank code words at end of this code may be filled out for private use, 
but care should be taken that both books are exactly the same. 

When sending a cablegram every letter should be plainly written, and 
when receiving a cablegram read it very carefully ; in both instances check 
and re-check the message from the code. Receiver should apply at telegraph 
office and request repetition of doubtful words. The reply to a message can 
be prepaid, but such reply cannot exceed thirty words. Amount deposited for 
reply is paid out to addressee. 

Ten letters is the limit allowed for each word, every additional ten letters, 
or part of ten letters, is an extra word ; ch counts as one letter. Three figures 
and under—used for numbers, amounts, dates, etc. are counted as one word. 
Namesand addresses form part of the message,and are charged for accordingly. 

The rates per word for cablegrams to Great Britain, Ireland, France, and 
Germany from the undermentioned places are as follows : 

New York City and vicinity (Brooklyn, Long Island City, Astoria, Staten 
Island, Governor's Island, and Yonkers, N.Y., Jersey City and Hoboken, N. J.), 
the New England States, Ontario, Quebec, and the lower provinces of Canada, 
25 cents. 

Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York 
{except New York City and vicinity ), and Pennsylvania, 28 cents. 

Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, 
North and South Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Wis¬ 
consin, Duluth, Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., St. Louis. Mo., New 
Orleans, La., and Pensacola, Fla., 31 cents. 

Arkansas, Colorado, Florida {except Pensacola and Key West), 

Indian Territory, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana ( except New Orleans), 
Minnesota (except Duluth , Minneapolis , and St. Paul , Missouri 
{except St. Louis), Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North and South

Arizona, British Columbia. California, Idaho, Manitoba, Nevada, North 
west Territories—Alberta Assiniboine, Saskatchewan—Oregon, Utah, Van 
couver, and Washington, 37 cents. 

Key West, Fla., 40 cents.

mission by the most modern as well as the swiftest method ofoce'Mi 
telegraphy.

SPECIAL NOTICE. 

The foregoing code is an enlargement of the one published in former editions 
of “Over the Ocean,” there being now about one thousand code words in the 
book ; and in order to preserve the alphabetical plan and not conflict with the old 
code words, it was found necessary to reconstruct the whole code and cancel all 
the code words previously used. In view of the fact that the use of a new 
vocabulary may be compulsory in less than two years, it has been decided to 
employ an entirely new set of code words, selected from the Official Vocabulary, 
published in accordance with the decision of the International Telegraph Confer¬ 
ence of Paris, and expected to become obligatory in Europe on and after January i>

RATES OF FARES IN AMERICA. 

The following table gives the limited rates of fares by the most direct routes 
(by longer routes the fares are slightly lower* from New York to the principal 
cities and places most frequented by travellers from Europe. The tickets in many 
cases are available only for a continuous journey to destination. Fares are subject 
to change. 

Sleeping and parlor cars are run by the principal railways on through trains 
to all important points, the charges for which average $2 per night for double berth 
(either upper or lower) in sleeper, or $3 per day and night for both sleeper and 
parlor car. Holders of second-class tickets cannot purchase berths in sleeping 
cars or seats in parlor cars. An extra fare is charged on certain of the fast limited 
trains, which are composed of parlor and sleeping cars only. 

Tickets are collected on trains by the conductor, and travellers having any 
disagreement with the conductor relative to tickets, privileges, etc., should pay 
tlie claim, take his receipt, and refer the matter for adjustment to the office where 
ticket was procured, or to the general passenger agent of the company over whose 
line they may at the time be travelling, as he has no discretionary power in such 
matters, but is governed by rules which he is not authorized to change.

lilSHOP ROCK—SCILLYS 













THE MANSION HOUSE, BROOKLYN, N. Y. 

I S a select Family and Transient Hotel, on Brooklyn Heights, directly 
opposite Wall Street, New York. Standing at an elevation of ninety feet 
above the East River, it commands a full view for miles of New York City r 
harbor, bay, and surroundings. 

The location is most central and convenient to all important points. It is 
within twelve minutes of the New York City Hall or Broadway and Wall 
Street; four minutes’ walk from Wall Street Ferry or from Brooklyn Bridge. 
The neighborhood is the most select residential part of the city. The whole 
environment is suggestive of comfort and content, which, as they are rarely - 
found at hotels in large cities, are prized the more by people of refined tastes. 

During the summer and fall of 1893 the main building was enlarged by 
the addition of three stories, and the entire house remodeled throughout at 
great expense. No detail was omitted in the general renovation that could 
in any way add to the comfort and welfare of guests. Most of the rooms are. 
now arranged in suits of from two to six rooms each, with parlor and private- 
bath. Every bath-room is connected with the “ star ” ventilator, the most, 
perfect system of ventilation known, which EXHAUSTS THE AIR completely in 
from three to five minutes. The plumbing and steam heating systems ARE EN¬ 
TIRELY NEW. 

Extending the full length of the central or main building, on the southern 
exposure, is an open veranda, also at the main entrance a spacious covered 
portico, which is enclosed in glass, and steam-heated in winter, making a de¬ 
lightful SUN PARLOR. 

All the rooms are newly decorated, heated by steam, and furnished in. 
harmonious and pleasing tones. Liberal management. Reasonable rates* 
Accommodations for 250 guests.
